S10 Password Vault 2.0

S10 Password Vault 2.0 is a professional and easy to use tool which is designed to give you an advanced way to store all your usernames and passwords securely with S10 Password Vault, strongly encrypted yet easily accessible using a single master password.

Use the following commands from within any username or password field in any website or program, and it will autotype the appropriate username and/or password for you so you don't have to remember them.

• Ctrl Alt U  - autotypes username
• Ctrl Alt P  - autotypes password
• Ctrl Alt L  - autologin (autotypes username TAB password ENTER)
  

Major Features:

1. Easy to use - Small and simple windows, unlike other programs that often use cluttered windows full of technical, confusing options. No ugly browser toolbars or plugins either. Works with any program, not just browsers. Also, the convenient autotype feature avoids the cumbersome switching back-and-forth between windows to copy/paste usernames and passwords.
2. Create Master Password: Master password - The first step is to create a master password which you will use to access your password vault. For maximum security, the master password should be long and use a mix of lower and upper case letters, numbers, and special characters. You can use a phrase or sentence instead of just one word; the longer it is, the more secure it is. But beware that there is no way to recover or reset a forgotten password; your information is effectively lost if you cannot remember your master password - there is no back door.
3. Highly secure encryption - The second step is to add your accounts (username/password pairs) which are then stored in a single vault file locally on your PC, securely encrypted using the very high standard 256-bit AES algorithm. This encryption is infinitely stronger than what has ever been computationally cracked (64 bit; for every additional 20 bits, it would take 1 million times longer to crack).
4. Folder/Account Hierarchy: Folder/account hierarchy - You can organize your accounts any way you like. Use the default folder structure or add/rename/delete folders as you wish. Use drag-and-drop to easily rearrange folders and accounts. There is also a "View All" window that lets you see all information for all your accounts in spreadsheet format, sortable by column.
5. Launch websites and programs - For each account, you can specify a corresponding website address or program file, which you can then easily launch later. You can even specify multiple websites or programs if the username/password is used as a login for more than one place.
   
6. Auto-type commands - Use the following commands from within any username or password field in any website or program (regardless of how you launched it), and the S10 Password Vault background process will autotype the appropriate username and/or password for you.
7. Foil keyboard loggers - Whenever you manually type in a username or password anywhere, you are potentially subject to malicious keyboard logger programs. The autotype mechanism avoids this danger because it actually pastes the value into the field rather than simulating keystrokes.
   
8. In addition, S10 Password Vault also protects its own password fields from malicious keyloggers by sending lots of random hidden decoy keystrokes; keyloggers might see over 100 random characters, completely obscuring the actual password you typed. With other password managers, keyloggers would capture your master password (and all account passwords you add) in clear text.
9. For windows that don't support the Paste function (Ctrl+V), such as the Command Prompt window, S10 Password Vault can simulate keystrokes instead (you can specify additional such windows in the file NoPasteWindows.txt).
10. Copying usernames/passwords - The context menu lets you easily copy the username or password for an account onto the clipboard. In most cases though, using an autotype command is actually much quicker than copying and pasting. For security, the clipboard is automatically cleared after 1 minute.
11. Account selection - When you use an autotype command, you will be asked to confirm which account to use. It defaults the appropriate account based on the title of the current website/program window. Each account can be associated with one or more window titles (full or partial); if the current website/program window title contains one of these, it will use this account as default. If you launched the website/program from within S10 Password Vault, the account prompt will be skipped if the window title matches the info for the account from which you launched.
12. If you wish to edit account information instead of continuing with the autotype command, just click the Account Details icon. If you wish to add a new account, select the appropriate folder and then click the icon (which changes to a New Account icon when no account is selected).
13. System tray icon - S10 Password Vault shows up in the system tray as a padlock icon. When you close the main window, S10 Password Vault keeps running in the background. To open it again, just click the icon. To exit the program, right-click the icon and select Exit. You can lock the program and also launch websites/programs directly from the icon's right-click menu.
14. Auto-lock timeout - For extra security, S10 Password Vault auto-locks after 5 minutes of being inactive in the background. The number of minutes is configurable via the Options window.
15. Quick unlock - S10 Password Vault lets you use a strong password yet still allows quick access. When you first open your password vault you are asked for your full password, but after you subsequently lock it you can unlock quickly with a partial password (configurable - by default the first four characters, as indicated in the password field). Quick Unlock is also available when you use an autotype command while the vault is locked; in this case you will be asked for both password and account (see figure on right). Note that only one partial password attempt is allowed - if you enter a wrong partial password, the full password is then required.
16. Auto-start - S10 Password Vault is configured to start automatically in the background when Windows starts up. You can modify this behavior under Tools/Options.
17. Automatic file backup - When you open a password vault file, it will automatic make a backup copy of itself and save it under the same filename appended with "_backup". So if you accidentally delete an account or forget a newly changed master password, you can revert back to a previous version of the vault file. Beware that you should still back it up periodically to another place to keep your data safe in case your harddisk ever fails.
18. Password generation - Since you no longer have to remember all your individual passwords, it is a good idea to start using more complex passwords for better security. S10 Password Vault can generate strong, random passwords that you can use for your accounts.
19. Import/export - Ability to import data from, or export to, a tab-delimited text file (one account per row: name, username, password, website/program, window title, notes).
20. Printing - You can print out the vault contents if you wish to keep a hard-copy backup in a safe place.
21. Localizable - You can easily translate the S10 Password Vault program to another language. Earn 10% of the cost of all licenses purchased by businesses using that language!
22. Central configuration - Businesses can centrally control configuration settings for employees that use S10 Password Vault. For details, see using S10 Password Vault for business.
23. Digitally signed - No embedded spyware/adware or other third-party software. Both the install package and the program executable are digitally signed by S10 Software for your security.
24. Compact program size - Every feature in S10 Password Vault is carefully designed to minimize the impact on the overall program size by using efficient coding techniques and leveraging .NET Framework components. The download is only 500KB - far below other programs in its class.
